“There are misunderstandings among us; lack of trust would jeopardize unity among the ethnic nationalities. The future Federal Union of Burma will be peaceful and stable only if we can establish trust and respect. Therefore, we should promote understanding among us and work hand in hand as equal partners. We should form a strong organization that gives us the opportunity to work together”, said, Bee Htaw Monzel, the newly elected General Secretary of EMC.
Welcoming messages from the New Mon State Party and the Mon Unity League were sent to the meeting.
Exiled MP Nai Thaung Shein chaired the meeting and EMC selected coordinators in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Netherlands and Sweden during the two-day gathering in the summer.
